A young boy named Eric lives with his mother and nana in the woodlands in Arcadia. His nana discourages him from going into the bush alone because he might get caught by ‘the Hairy Man’.
Tensions erupt when Eric’s father Shane returns and tries to be part of the family again.
This drama takes the viewer on a journey from darkness to light, and between bush spirit, father and son.
